A Film Queen

Chapter 32 The Confrontation

Meanwhile, Stephanie glanced at the vacant seat beside her in Class D and frowned,

Melanie was absent from school today.

Recalling last night when Melanie called her in tears, seeking help, and then accusing her hysterically, all these events intertwined, giving her a sense that something was amiss.

Could it be that she had discovered I was using her?

No, that was impossible. She was naive and gullible. I could easily fabricate a few excuses to deceive her and earn her trust.

Reflecting on it now, she regretted her harsh words to Melanie the previous night. Despite the Spencer Group’s financial downfall, they could still benefit her.

Furthermore, who else besides Melanie would be as easily manipulated and led on with just a few words? Such pawns were hard to come by.

Therefore, when Melanie arrived later, she planned to display a bit of vulnerability and coax her. After all, that was what she was most susceptible to.

Suddenly, a classmate called out to her.

“Stephanie, is that your older brother? Is he here for your swearing ceremony?”

“Wow, Stephanie. Your brother is quite handsome.”

“You’re something else. You claimed earlier that no one from your family would be attending, but you were just teasing us. Were you afraid your brother’s good looks would overshadow us?”

Stephanie was taken aback. Jordan was here? Wasn’t he supposed to be on a business trip out of town?

Following everyone’s gaze outside, a man in a suit, broad–shouldered, slim–waisted, tall, and dignified like a runway model, appeared on the asphalt road. Who else could it be besides Jordan?

He was heading towards Class D.
